WHO WE ARE

WE ARE LEAH’S HOPES AND DREAMS

Leah’s Hopes and Dreams (LHD) creates opportunities in the lives of youth, underprivileged families and the less fortunate.

We are a 501c3 organization with an emphasis on God, education, and programs that support sustainable behavioral changes. We serve our target population within the communities in which we live, work, and worship; Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, and surrounding areas.

We also have a global focus with partnerships in Ghana, West Africa and the Bahamas. LHD recognizes the far reaching economic and socio-economic impact of poverty and the role it plays to influence the mind, body, and spirit (sharing God’s love even in the darkest places).

HISTORY

2014

Leah’s Hopes and Dreams traveled with a group of missionaries to Africa to conduct mission work. We engaged in village evangelism with a strong emphasis on discipleship. The area where we traveled is called the 1040 window where over 90% of the people have never heard the gospel. Over 90% of the residence there are muslin. During our time in Ghana Tamale Africa, we walk through the villages and spread the gospel of JESUS. We serve at the Dental and Eye clinics. Before services are rendered on a daily basis the work of GOD is preached. Each team took a number of supplies donated by families here in Charlotte for each village. The population of Tamale is 350,000 and we reached about 100,000 individuals that we were able to share the gospel with.

2015

LHD have collaborated and will be working with Hope Haven to build the community of Mecklenburg and Cabarrus County break the cycle of Homelessness and Addiction forever. We will provide the residents with Technical Skills through Green Belt Process Improvement training, and Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and Access) computer skills training on a monthly basis. In addition we will assist them with organizing fundraisers and creating awareness of the organization by positing Adds on Leah’s Hopes and Dreams websites, connecting them to radio stations to promote events and posting flyers within the community.

Many times in our lives we have encountered and will continue to encounter things that will make us want to quit. Psalm 90:12 says “Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.” This book was written to encourage you to keep moving forward in the Lord, trusting that when you take one step he will take the other. Don’t give up. Keep trusting, Keep Loving and Keep believing. You can’t lose if you keep your eyes focus on the Christ. Christ is the author and finisher of your faith. With faith we can move mountains. Anytime you feel like you’re at the end of yourself, don’t quit, find a song of praise to remove that spirit of heaviness. In the NAME OF JESUS!
